Joe's Shanghai – Chinese
The air hums with the lively energy of communal dining as towers of bamboo steamers release fragrant plumes of ginger-scented vapor across the bustling room. Each legendary soup dumpling arrives as a delicate, hand-pleated parcel, hiding a rich, golden broth that bursts with savory warmth against the sharp brightness of black vinegar and slivered ginger.
